Learning outcomes |
It is intended that throughout the semester students deepen a set of historical-artistic, iconographic and iconological notions, aiming at a deep understanding of the various artistic currents from the eighteenth century to the present day (the historical period called the Contemporary Age), and develop the necessary skills, in the field of knowledge and critical sense, to relate the influence of Art in the various historical-cultural expressions of contemporaneity.
